Clement Attlee was not a good Prime Minister. Discuss.

George Marshall did more to rebuild England than Attlee did.

That's an unsubstantiated opinion. But you're welcome to it. Like dross to airy thinness beat, there's less to it than meets the eye.

Actually, like Optimus Prime to Bumblebee, there's more to it than meets the eye.

How quaint.

Is it meant to mean anything, or do you just have logorrhoea ?

[Tupac Shakur]

I have no doubts about your ability to google it.

You should question my interest in doing so, for none do I have- thanks for being predictably predictable though.

You should entertain the possibility of coming up with some new material.


Or any.

Sounds like sour grapes from a guy who lost an election to Clement Atlee.

OK, for once Drake came up with something witty. Point well earned.

He also stated that Labour could only rule through the use of a Socialist Gestapo.

Silly, as he was a former Liberal who had worked with Beveridge and even introduced Labour Exchanges.

If we're going by "getting **** done", then Lyndon Johnson was a great president because he pushed through medicare, medicaid, great society, fought the vietnam war, and did the civil rights act. But only the last of these was actually good, so he was a terrible president.

Now I'm going to hide in my trollproof bunker for criticising medicaid/medicare...

If you never benefited from the system then your point of view is academic. I personally would not have any teeth, would had a serious infection/illnesses from lack of treatment as a youth for stepping on a nail, getting hit in the back of the head with a brick, stuck in the face with a stick, broken arm and other childhood calamities. So thank you LBJ and **** you HC .

You know, if that were what I was complaining about, you'd be justified in this post. But really, do you think giving kids tetanus shots is what is bankrupting medicaid?

I think that a lot of people say things suck without giving viable alternatives.

It's a good way to people popular.
